#1 MILITANT insurgent groups responsible for killing thousands of Iraqi civilians over the past two years are guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity

Two years? And Human Rights Watch is just now noticing? Allow me to express my contempt for this useless organization.

#2 they were waiting for the rest of the Abu Grahib pics to be released, to balance: throatcutting vs panties on the head = zero sum

#3 My first thought was that it's about time that the 'Human Rights' so-called community has finally gotten round to condemning terrorists killing civilians. Then I realized that it was only based on the fact that a captured letter admitting to car-bombings was found. In terms of proportionality with the repeated condemnation of the US, this amounts to a nominal 'slap on the wrist' for the terrorists.

#4 Sarah Leah Whitson, who heads the groupâs Middle East and Africa division, said it was important that insurgents were also called to account.

Really? are the poor rebels/militants/insurgents as bad as the US Military. Unbelievable!

#6 War crimes? Does that imply that the 'insurgents' recognise some aspect of the Geneva Convention?

#7 Good luck with all that Sarah Leah Whitson. This group literally supports Terrorism. Excuse me while laugh.

Nice to know that HRW is paying attention to these little matters.Thank you, so very much. Is it time for a pledge drive in the US? Or in some other market that matters?

#12 In related news, Human Rights Watch today stated that the Spanish Inquisition was 'bad'. But they hastened to add that they ascribed no blame whatsoever to the current socialist government of Spain.
